Spiced apple dessert scones

Spiced apple dessert scones are a delightful and easy-to-make treat that combine the warmth of spices with the sweetness of apples. They are perfect for an afternoon snack or a cozy dessert. This recipe will walk you through the steps to create these delicious scones using simple ingredients.

Ingredients:

1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 tbsp sugar
16g
1 dash salt
1g
2 tbsp butter
30g
1 apple
160g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
1 tsp spice mix
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
3. Cut in Butter:
Add the butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should be distributed evenly throughout the flour.
4. Prepare Apple:
Peel, core, and dice the apple into small pieces. Ensure the apple pieces are of uniform size for even baking.
5. Combine Ingredients:
Add the diced apple, brown sugar, and spice mix to the flour mixture. Stir until the apple pieces are evenly coated and the ingredients are incorporated.
6. Form the Dough:
Gradually add a small amount of milk (approximately 2-3 tablespoons) to the mixture while stirring, just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
7. Shape the Scones:
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
8. Cut the Scones:
Use a sharp knife or a pastry cutter to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges. Transfer the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
9. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool and Serve:
Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. These scones can be enjoyed plain or with a dab of butter or a drizzle of honey.

Tips:

- Ensure that the butter is cold when you combine it with the flour mixture. This helps create a flakier texture in the scones.

- Use a tart apple variety like Granny Smith for a nice contrast to the sweetness of the sugar and spice.

- Do not overmix the dough; mix until just combined to ensure the scones remain light and airy.

- If you prefer, you can add nuts or raisins to the dough for extra texture and flavor.

- For a golden finish, brush the tops of the scones with a bit of milk or egg wash before baking.

With their inviting aroma and delightful flavor, spiced apple dessert scones are sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy these scones with a cup of tea or coffee, and savor the homemade goodness. Remember to experiment with different spices and add-ins to create your unique twist on this classic recipe.
